[Building Sakai] Nexus as a maven proxy

[David Horwitz]

Hi All,

I've been playing around with Nexus (http://nexus.sonatype.org/) to use
as a mirror for maven repos - and down the line as a local release
repository. Early indications are that it significantly speeds up our
build process (the pom checks are performed at local network speed).

Has any else looked at Nexus? If you have have you been able to use it
mirror the Sakai repo? I can't seem to get a configuration that mirrors
both release and snapshot artefacts.

thanks

David
